The crypto and YOLO options are a sign that the younger generations are seeking alpha and they're not content earning ~5-8% until they retire; they seek outsized returns. So I think Prep2Grow is one method by which young investors may choose to play options and strategies in an attempt to outperform the market. I like that you're addressing the problem with the typical asset management structure, which is that often 4-8% fees essentially get your money placed in a diversified set of index funds, which perform with the market. People don't get what they pay for. I also believe the AI/ML-based trading is an incredible idea. I am a data scientist and this is a problem I would be working on if I wasn't already employeed and completing a masters degree. I think there is something to be said for investing in the company you would build if you could. So, you have built a respectable company and I am wishing you success. With that said, I have a few questions: 1) What is to stop an embedded player from building their own trade recommendation system? Why hasn't Robinhood built something like this already, and what's to stop them from doing so? How would Prep2Grow compete with these big players with large customer bases? 2) What led you to select the current subscription-based compensation approach? Any thoughts on using a percentage-based model? It seems like a subscription based model is a good start, but if you attain a large AUM, it seems like it would be preferable to have a percentage-based model. Do you agree? I know P2G is not a broker/dealer, so maybe this is complicated. But curious to hear your thoughts on the payment model and whether you have considered something along the lines of a 2 and 20 or %-based structure. I think from a purely psychological perspective, I see the subscription fee as a potential barrier to adoption. Whereas a performance based fee could be initially free to access and draaw in more users. I also think people are happy paying when they make money but are less likely to pay a subscription fee. THis model would also allow you to democratize your product. You could reach the attentions of smaller investors, who are investing with a few hundred dollars and whom a $99 fee would bankrupt.

I've searched around but can't get credible information on the subject so I figured you might know. Is there systemic risk of holding an all options portfolio that may may be upended during a market correction? Like if we're holding all calls and the market drops 20% will our portfolio go to zero? (I've read that if the implied volatility is higher the calls will increase in value.) Because if we're trading options with a 95% rate of success and higher it seems like a no-brainer to trade 100% options for the higher return. I'm basically just trying to get the highest returns possible while being prepared for a correction.
